Question

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 10. L when the applied pressure is 5.0 atm , find the pressure when the gas occupies a volume of 2.5 L . Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer 1

20L is the new volume

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, moles and T° from the gas remain constant. This is the formula we must apply, to solve this:

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

5 atm . 10 L = P₂ . 2.5L

P₂ = (5 atm . 10 L) / 2.5L →20L
